Bulldog® Adhesion Promoter

Bulldog® Adhesion Promoter is designed to promote paint adhesion to all automotive surfaces, even problem plastics. It works equally well on all flexible or rigid plastics, fiberglass, aluminum, glass, chrome, vinyl, galvanized metal, and painted surfaces. Bulldog acts as a tie coat by allowing several different surfaces to be painted at the same time to assure a smooth, flawless, durable finish every time. If added to the paint, it will perform as a flex agent, promoting more flexibility on plastics.

Bulldog is formulated with special resins that are found in high quality automotive lacquers. This special blend wets the surface completely, promoting greater flow and leveling which leads to superior appearance.

Yes, Bulldog is considered a specialty coating and must have a VOC of less than 7.0 lb/gal (840g/L). The VOC of Bulldog is 6.23 lb/gal (748 g/L). This is significantly lower than most other adhesion promoters and specialty coatings.

After Bulldog is applied, it needs 5-10 minutes flash time before the application of a base coat. However, it can be effective for up to 24 hours. If the part is coated with Bulldog and left overnight, the base coat can be applied without any problem. If the part is left over the weekend, it needs to be scuffed again, tacked and recoated with one coat of Bulldog before applying the base coat.

The microfibers, which allow Bulldog to fill 320 grit scratches, give Bulldog a hazy appearance. When the solvents evaporate, the fibers have the same refractive index as the coating polymers, allowing it to disappear. Bulldog sprays clear and dries to a class A water-white finish.

It will not affect original paint because it is clear. It will actually help in blend-out areas to provide a smoother finish. Some painters use Bulldog to improve the flop/alignment of metallic pigments.

The unique properties of Bulldog are due to a one-component polymerization reaction between styrene, polyester resin and various acrylate monomers. Once Bulldog is applied and solvents have flashed out, the resins react to form a highly cross-linked resin coating. The product’s strong adhesion promoting properties are due to the varied types of acrylic monomers used in the formulation. The filling, sealing and flow out properties of the final coating are due to fairly high solids as well as inclusion of various types of fibers in the formulation.
